The Olowalu Plantation is in fine con-
dition. The plant cane shows remark
able vigor and would seem good for
large yield; in some fields at least five
tons to the acre All the fields are in
the best of order, showing good cultiva-
ton The Manager, Mr.. D. r. Vida,
does not think that the crop of 1887 will
exceed that of last year, but there seems
to be every promise of much larger
output for the year 1888. 1t is to be
hoped too that his expectations will be
fully realized, for he took the plantation
under the most unfavorable circum-
stances-took it at time when the place
was neither one thing nor the other, and
considered by many planters as poor
| investment. The cane under cultivation
| when he took hold did not come up to
200 acres, while it now exceeds 800
| acres. 1t will therefore be seen that an
average annual crop of at least 900 tons
| is very moderate estimate. The
machinery, mill buildings, and in fact
everything connected with this property,
including the quarters for the plantation
hands, is looking bright, clean and in
thorough repair; fences and railroad

PUBLIC HEALTH.

The variable weather experienced
since the middle of November, coupled
with the heavy rsigltall Tor the season So
tar. has seriously Elected ne health Of
the community Reports rom ION the other
islands show that the death record Is
proportionately as large as it is in this
city and suburbs, infant mortality show
ing noticeable increase In most cases.
This is doubtless due in great measure to
climatic influence and the use of storm
water charged with earthly particles and
disease germs. The consumption of i'm
pure water TO a certain extent cannot be
avoided. In the rural districts especially
there is hardly any way whereby its use
in a season like the present can be pre-
vented, unless precautions are taken to
boil and filter the water intended for
domestic consumption. In the city the
chances for securing moderately pure
water are better than in the country dis
tricts, but it may be accepted as a fact
that in the vast majority of cases no
pains are taken to purify water for culin-
airy or drinking purposes. Hence the
largely increased mortality among in
fants and children OF tender years, and
the consequent check to the natural in
crease of population.
The necessity for a fltering reservoir
in connection with the water supply sys-
tenn for Honolulu is, we think, made
very apparent by the facts We have just
stated. 1t is not sufficient to have
storage reservoir. The water should be
purified by filtration before passing into
the mains for city usA The Loan Act
makes provision for expenditure on the
Water Works of Honolulu, and We think
the. money could not be applied to
more necessary or proper object than in
constructing reservoir for the purpose
named. Upon this point we apprehend
there will be no diversity Oh opinion. A
great deal has already been accomplished
at comparatively small ousfl.5V to in
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1887-01-10

crease the quantity OF the water supply; !
with similar intelligence and economy a
great deal more might be accomplished
to perfect the water system with the
fund set apart for that purpose in the
Loan Act, and improve the quality of
the water.
In this connection, and with u view to
emphasize what We have written, it is
proper to note that in this city fevers are
on the increase among adults, while
children are victims of bowel affections
to an alarming extent. And the chances
are when the rains are over, that the
exhalations from the soil under the
warm rays of the sun will increase these
types of disease, or cause them to as
sumo more malignant forms. Honolulu
has no guarantee, continuous or other
wise, against epidemics, and the present
low general average OF health would
outbreak of one Cholera is now on the
American continent; it is now. or has
recently been fatally prevalent in China
and Japan; and there is therefore a
chance of an outbreak of it on these
| Islands. Smallpox is disease to which
we are always exposed, and it needs the
utmost vigilance of the health author
tiles to keep it out of bounds. But quar-
antine cannot grapple with an epidemic
| generated in our midst from local causes,
and this is presently what is most to be
dreaded. Pure air, pure water, clean
streets and homesteads are the best pre-
ventives of epidemic disease. We re-
gret that there is neither SO much purity
or cleanliness as there should be, and we
therefore hope and trust that the author
tiles will move in this matter, looking tc
the adoption OF remedial measures, as
| speedily as possible.

MONDAY
" THAT SECURITY"

Our morning contemporary appears to
be somewhat exercised about "that Sc
curity," meaning 5000, 900 in Hawaiian
Government bonds deposited in the
Treasury by the banking house of Claus
Spreckels 81 Co! some time ago, and
since withdrawn by it. The transaction
in question was perfectly regular and
proper, and calls for no comment from
the public or the press. These bonds
were voluntarily placed in the keeping
of the Minister of Finance as guarantee
that good faith would be kept with the
depositors in Spreckels' Bank of Saving
and Deposit, and the resident partner in
that bank having satisfied His Excel
lency Mr. Kanoa that the depositors
would receive their money at call, the
bonds were returned to their owners
upon application therefor. Every de-
position in the bank was notified by cir
cular of this transaction, and there the
matter should have ended. 1t is at the
option of depasitors to withdraw their
money within sixty days from the date
of the circular letter issued by the bank,
a copy of which the "Herald" pub
lished. We fail therefore to see in what
way the Minister of Finance is blamable.
Tie depositing of the bonds in question
was voluntary act on the part OF the
Bank, and when it withdrew these and
notified depositors of the fact, intimat-
ing also that their money was ready at
call, irrespective of the conditions OF de-
post which required a time notice Of
varying duration, we should say that
good faith was kept both with the Treas
ury and the depositors. AS we look at
the transaction, it is one in which the
public are not interested, and which the
Minister of Finance was not called upon
to publish officially. His functions as
depository of the bonds were properly
discharged without that, and it is going
considerably out of the way to find an
excuse for fault-finding when the non
publication of "By Authority notice
of withdrawal is made a ground of ami
madversion against him. If it had not
been for this unjust aspersion upon His
Excellency Mr.. Kanoa we should not
have noticed the affair.

Let Ne Have a Mild
GIG A r.!

THE ABOVE REQUEST IS HEARD DAILY IN
i cigar stores, saloons and other places where
cigars are sold, for it is undisputsd fact that
most smokers prefer mild cigar, and that those
who have for long time smok ed strong cigars,
principally imported Manilas will, after having
thoroughly injured the stomach and impaired the
nervous system, surely want mild cigar if they
could find the right kind.
How many thousands of smokers who suffer
from loss of appetite, headache, nervous irrita
bility, asthma, etc, and who have tried all pos
sible remedies without success, might be cured
if they knew that their sufferings were caused by
the intemperate use of strong cigars. and that
they should only smoke mild an properly pre-
pared ones.
1t is fact that not all mild cigars agree we'll
with smokers, for in most cases there is a lack
of care in the selection of the tobacco and often
the necessary experience for it is wanting, yet
there is one brand which suits the most fastid-
ious smoker and that is

Death of William Dean

William Dean died at 4.5O o'clock Tues
day afternoon, at his home at Newark.
His illness dates back several months,
although previous to the fire of last
Christmas day, when the extensive mills
at Newark were burned, he was supposed
to be only temporarily indisposed. When
the fire occurred he had but recently got
through the excitement of warmly con-
testested election campaign, in which he
was at the front from beginning to end, in
the interest of the Temperance Reform
ticket. The disastrous fire undoubtedly
helped to bring on his fatal illness-pneu-
monia, to which he finally succumbed.
The funeral will take place at 2 o'clock
on Saturday afternoon from the late home
of the deceased. A train will leave the P.
w. & B. station, Wilmington, at IL So
O'Clock, noon, for Newark, and returning,
leave Newark at 6 IL p. m.

FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, April 18th, 1887
During the Democratic Administra-
ton many Of the musty regulations
with which Republican official life had
hedged itself in have been overhauled,
and where there was no good reason
for their existence, have been diseon-
tinued. They have not all been rele-
gated to the past, however. Therule
which closes the Government Depart
ment building to visitors at two O'Clock
is still in force, much to the inconve-
nience of strangers.
1t is serious disappointment to Wis
ltors here only for a few days, and try
ing to get as much sightseeing as
possible into that time, to be
smut out at so early an hour
from SO many places of interest. They
feel, and have right to feel that in a
peoples Government the peoples con-
veDience ought to he considered a
little, and that they should be given
what pleasure they can get from the
corridors, elevators, n5siseums, and
curiosity rooms of the building as
long as they are open for busi-
ness.
Speaking of sightseeing in the De-
partments, l often think how monot-
onous must be the duties of those Off
Gals who are delegated to exhibit the
objects of interest to visitors. But
they show wonderful freshness about
the time-worn business. There is

Mr.. EDroR.-For the consolation of the
water, water, water cryers, submit the
FIRST and last annual report of the Dover Wa
ter Works, and quote from the same, and
note that nothing has been expended for con-
struction during the year:
For interest and operation. -......$6, l3l SO
Water rents for the year..............$2, 1872 81
Now Sir, Lhad the pleasure of conversing
with those already drowned and with those
who are on,the verge of the great taxable del
uge and I,stilEfurther quote from the Super
intendents report as to the borrowing of
more money and foisting a tax which they
cannot paSs "The failure to obtain from
the General assembly the power SO impera-
lively yhe6ded and so often withheld, of ex-
tending the water mains, is matter Of pro-
'fcund' regret That the power is necessary
cannet truthfully be denied, and justice to
sthe people of the town, demands that it
shpuld be given. But the fact remains that
the principal opposition comes from the peo-
Spaewho would themselves be the parties ben
efted, and mostly from those residing on the
Istreets through which it was proposed to ex-
stend the mains"
! This is only one grievence | gather from
the report, and could 90 on to show from it
thatit would consume nearly as much money
as already expended, $4,000, before the
town would be fully equipped. Aside from
all, the quality of water is inferior and forces
upon the consumer heavy tax in the way of
a supply of ice to make it pilatable during
the warm season. As we'll as arrangements
necessary of supply to private or public
buildings, l did not ascertain the exact
amount realized outside of the public build
ngs and the cannery of Richardson b Rob-
bins but am lead to believe it would mot
pay for the coal aud oil used. Now there ap-
pears to be another great hindrance to the
progress Of the town from the number of
stores and houses for rent that must be the
want of proper sewerage, for it isa natural
sequence and must follow. Let US compare if
you please town the size of Dover with its
numerous industries and population to our own
and see if there is any consolation. The as
sessed value of Dover is $4,000, 900. The
rate of per cent. after four years of trial, for
water privilege is Is cents on $lo0. Now
take our assessment, $500, 600, ut same ratio,
s times Is, making 80 cents, providing we
could receive the same demand for its use.
think that any reasonable seeker after the
earning of our little savings will concede the
fallacy of such an undertaking. make the
prediction here that in five years, like New
Brunswick, Elizabeth and all other towns
of extravaganee, instead of advancing will
sink below reasonable redemption. Yes, but
say some, we are going to avoid the expenses
by using the standpipe. If you will allow me
would in your next paper ventiate the
standpipe business and think TO the satis-
faction of all. TAX PAYER
